Born Rachel, Ray was the daughter of Frank and Mary Costelloe; her mother later married Bernard Berenson. Formidably clever from her schooldays, she read mathematics at Cambridge and studied electrical engineering at Oxford before committing herself to women's suffrage. She was Secretary of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies, Chairman of the Women's Service Bureau and a joint-founder of the League of Nations Union. She was an unsuccessful parliamentary candidate, but acted briefly as political secretary to Nancy Astor.
